It struck me that this thread tended to get stuck because of some level of inflation in the lots, and the fact that they were sometimes too eclectic to get picked up, but I think the operating principle makes a lot of sense, and works really well.
Many Stampboards members are thematic collectors, with the most popular themes being aviation, trains, flowers, cars, sports, etc...
So the principle stays the same:
1) You put up a lot here (lot 1).
2) someone (person A) decides they like it
3) They then put up a lot themselves (lot 2)
4) If their lot (lot 2) is chosen by yet another person (person B) who likes it, you send them (person A) your lot (lot 1)
5) The person who chooses lot 2 (person B) then needs to put up a lot themselves (lot 3), and so on...
In this case, let's keep these lots simple: a complete mint set, with a value of less than US$ 10, that illustrates a specific theme.
If you decide you like the set, you can choose it, and put up another set, in a theme that you wish (it can be a different theme), following the principles of the 'pay it forward' system described here.
Rules update as of February 15, 2020:
* After making a claim, you must post an offer within 24 hours, or your claim will be forfeited and the previous offer becomes available again.
* After making a claim, a member will have a maximum of 72 hours to make an offer that is accepted. The clock will start when the first offer is made. Offers can be replaced after 24 hours if not claimed. Thus, UP TO 3 offers can be made in the 72 hour period. If no offer is taken before the 72 hour expiration, then the claim is forfeited and the previous item is up for grabs again (by anyone).
This rule has been implemented to try and keep the thread moving and the quality of the offers high. Members should avoid offering items again that have not been claimed when offered previously.
